My employer, employing 90 people, a lot of which are in their 20s and 30s, has decided to organise the yearly seminar event in a place where most of the company needs to board a plane to go.
I immediately said I wouldn’t go if I needed to take a plane, I was not the only one to say it. The company offered to reimburse any alternative journey (train+boat) which is a bit more expensive, but way way longer (14h transport vs 3h on plane, not taking into account the time in between train and ferry: I’ll be traveling for more than 24h in total between start and end, and same for the return journey). I said I’d do it, the others that spoke out: not so much, they are either not coming or taking the plane… In the end I think I will be the only one, we’ll see.
